“It’s obviously not the best situation, butthey’re letting her make her own decisions,” the source said. “It’s been a little stunning to see her go from [ex-husband DeVon Franklin], with faith at the center of their marriage, to Jon, but also understandable why she’d go for someone who’s totally different after being with the same person for so long and not having it work out.”
The source added that Good’s divorce from Franklin was “tough” for her. “Her divorce was very tough for her to process, and thedecision to end the marriageis something both she and DeVon took very seriously,” the source said, adding that she “has a really, really good heart.”
The source also added that Good and Majors’ relationship was growing “more serious.”
“She and Jonathan are taking it slow, but it’s definitely progressing and getting more serious,” they said. “She wouldn’t be out and about with him so publicly or be supporting him in his legal situation if the relationship didn’t mean something to her.”
